Please join us for February’s P.O.W.E.R. Outage! We will each be creating our own personal journal to take home. And we will discuss different ways of writing in a journal and how to use a journal to write your own life story. Materials will be provided, and if you have more stuff you want to bring please do. Each person is encouraged to make their journal however they want it! It might be helpful to think ahead of time about how you want it to look and bring stuff to make it that way. It will be optional to share a journal entry but no one will be pressured. Kids are welcome and it is a potluck. “There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you.” – Maya Angelou I Know Why The Caged Bird Sings
